p Going to school has some special times as these young students from Tinopai School found, leaving desks and books for some show business and rehearsals for Matariki celebration performances. The constellation Matariki appears in the eastern sky sometime around the shortest day of the year and signifies the beginning of Maori New Year. “It’s thought to determine how successful the harvest crop will be in the coming season. The brighter the stars, the more productive the crop,” said Tinopai school principal, Sonia Kaihe. Matariki celebrations fall around June 25.

p When local businessman and glazier Kevin Sowter noticed that Dargaville’s new Sportsville complex didn’t have its own roadside signage, he didn’t just call the committee and make a suggestion. He picked up tools and helped make a sign for them, free of charge. The recently installed signage proudly displays the Sportsville name and also lists activities allowed and disallowed in the memorial park area. There are even bright red poppies to commemorate the memorial nature of the open space, dedicated to the servicemen and women of Anzac.

p More than 100 people attended the preview of the Creating with Kauri exhibition at The Kauri Museum last Sunday. Works drawing from a range of influences including traditional cultural carving techniques through to contemporary styles created by 23 artists out of kauri timber from the museum’s stockpile were on show. The idea for the exhibition was conceived as a way to remember inspirational master carver the late Ewan Macdonald.

Mayor stands for re-election Council grants u by Paul Campbell

Kaipara Mayor Jason Smith has announced that he will stand for re-election at the upcoming October local body elections, after winning the February 2018 by-election that followed the 2017 resignation of former mayor, Greg Gent. Dr Smith says he believes Kaipara District Council has made real progress in the 18 months he’s been mayor. “Local people are telling me they’re noticing changes, that they feel better about council than they used to do and that they can see real progress is being made,” he said. “I’ve only had half of one term as mayor so far, and I’m only just warming up. I seek re-election because I’m passionate about the mighty Kaipara and our people and potential. Kaipara deserves stable leadership after a checkered past. A second term for me will help settle the ship, build on the foundations of the last 18 months and continue making real progress for our district.” Dr Smith says the $27 million of Provincial Growth Fund announcements of grants for Kaipara roads, wharves and food production was a great step forward for the district. The announcements and hosting of the prime minister, deputy PM and other cabinet ministers in February showed Kaipara was moving ahead. “We’re making real progress here, getting on with the job and I’m loving it,” he says. Local authority polls will be held on October 12 along with community and

Family initiatives funding boost Harbour pests surveyed u by Andy Bryenton

The Northland Community Foundation have tens of thousands of dollars to donate to worthy causes, which benefit families in our community.

A major survey of marine pests in the Kaipara Harbour has been carried out by biosecurity experts from NIWA in a joint agency exercise, with the results now being collated and expected to be released by September.

p Northland Community Foundation panel members Terri Donaldson, Debbie Evans and Rosemary Archibald invite applications for community funding

p A pest survey boat on the Kaipara Harbour

On June 10 applications opened to receive funding through their programme, and groups promoting families, children and young people’s services are encouraged to apply. The Nor thland Community Foundation has assisted many causes in recent years, including Dargaville Citizen’s Advice Bureau, Kaipara Abuse Prevention and the Kaipara Early Years Learning Service Hub. Their criteria is simple, as panel member Debbie Evans, who serves alongside Terri Donaldson, Rosemary Archibald and three other representatives from around Northland explains. “This fund helps smaller, local organisations who are making

Two Niwa craft have been a common sight on the harbour in the past few weeks, carrying out the survey for Auckland Council, Northland Regional Council and the Ministry for Primary Industries. “The last marine biosecurity pest survey was conducted in the Kaipara Harbour in 2006 by MPI, so the purpose of this survey is to increase our knowledge of the current marine pest situation,” said an Auckland Council spokesman. The latest probe has used a variety of methods to detect a range of marine pests including diver searches, crab traps, seafloor sampling and shore searches.

a difference in our Northland communities.” Evans encourages not for profit groups to review the criteria and if their projects fit in with the overarching ethos of the foundation. “Initiatives that foster youth employment, literacy and numeracy, assisting the capability of parents, and promoting affordable housing for young families are a few examples of activities the foundation would look upon favourably. With a total of $90,000 to allocate this year, applications close July 21. If you are involved with a project, which may be eligible, please visit northlandcommunityfoundation.org. nz. ¢

Known scallop beds were avoided during sampling. The focus was on detecting marine pests in high-risk areas of the harbour, for example; on or near artificial structures — samples of marine pests and other suspect animals or plants for identification by taxonomists where their identity is unknown. “The results of the survey will be communicated once all collected samples have been identified, with the goal of doing this by the end of September 2019.“ Additional information on all aspects of marine pest surveys can be found at marinebiosecurity.org.nz/what-aremarine-pests. ¢

Deviation project nears completion

Boost for Maori education u by Paul Campbell

Maori education is to get $42 million in new investment to better engage in learning.

u by Paul Campbell

After several months of delays and speed restrictions as the multimillion-dollar SH12 bridges replacement and road deviation came into being at Matakohe, the road has now been restored to a 100kp/h permanent speed limit — with a reservation. “There will be times when we need to put speed restrictions in place in specific areas to enable remaining work, for example, for the delivery of plants — to be completed safely,” said contractor Fulton Hogan’s Melanie Norris. Work still underway associated with the new section of highway includes Matakohe East Road corner easing. p The 100 kph limit may reduce for specific finishing “We have cleared the vegetation work at Matakohe and have commenced service relocations. Once this is finished we will Kowhai Road to Gallies Road and on start the drainage and earthworks in the to Matakohe. “This will utilise a road reserve old feijoa orchard,” she said. between several farms.

Associate Education Minister Kelvin Davis announced last Monday “the Wellbeing Budget has invested $42 million for three years in Te Hurihanganui — a new initiative that builds on the previously successful Te Kotahitanga programme. “The education system has underserved Maori learners. Te Hurihanganui will boost the capability of the education workforce to better support Maori achievement, and transform the learning experiences of Maori students.” “It’s about taking on long-term challenges, and we are committed to improving the outcomes and experience for Maori kids and their whanau,” he said. “In 2018 the Ministry of Education worked with a team of experts, chaired by Professor Mere Berryman, to develop Te Hurihanganui. “Through this work, we decided to not simply restart Te Kotahitanga as it was, but to develop an evidence-based approach focussed on what works for Maori learners and their whanau.” “There are two critical factors in supporting Maori learners: high-quality teaching that reflects culture and identity, and strong engagement from whanau and the wider community.

p Associate Education Minister Kelvin Davis

“This initiative addresses both of these factors. We will work with schools, whanau and communities at the same time; supporting communities to build strong relationships with schools, and supporting schools to strengthen their daily practice to ensure our system supports Maori success,” Kelvin Davis said. Te Hurihanganui is set to be tested across six communities during the three years. Detailed implementation planning will start later this year in partnership with the participating communities. ¢

R Tucker Thompson – Tall Ship Challenge winners

To make sure your power supply is as safe and reliable as possible, we are continually updating the poles and wires on the network. Some of our gear has been around since the 1950’s - so we are always working out what needs an update and replacing it so the lights stay on.

Congratulations to Kaitaia College’s Katie Thompson and Kira Watson winners of the 10th annual Tai Tokerau Tall Ship Challenge, which is sponsored by Northpower and Top Energy. They beat all-girl teams from five other Northland high schools in the five day challenge aboard the R.Tucker Thompson from Whangarei to Opua.

This year we will spend around $4 million on replacing power poles, cross arms and conductors (wires). Over the next 12 months we will have 220 new power poles, 850 new cross arms 220 CROSS 850 82 km and 82km of new wires added to the NEW POLES ARMS NEW WIRES Northpower electricity network.

Since we joined the programme in 2007 - in partnership with EECA, Foundation North and a number of other Northland funders – we have helped insulate almost 10,000 homes, with 6000 to go to finish the job. Families have noticed a big difference - not only in the comfort of the home but because being warm and dry has meant for many they are less sick over winter meaning they can get on with their lives and head off to work or school.

One for the team Mangawhai community stalwart, Christine Bygrave, credits the people she works and volunteers with for her QSM award in the Queen’s Birthday Honours.

Ariel’s Hill slip progress Motorists traversing SH12 between Paparoa and Maungaturoto have experienced short delays as remedial work has been carried out on a slip at the top of Ariel’s Hill, with traffic flows interrupted by either stop-go signallers or automated traffic lights. However, Transit NZ says good progress is being made. “Work to repair a partial road washout on State Highway 12 near Paparoa in Northland is progressing well,” says the Northland System manager, Jacqui Hori-Hoult. Drainage works were expected to be finished last week, and road construction is due to be underway this week. Traffic will soon be moved across to the new road alignment while

p Christine Bygrave QSM

“It is such an unexpected honour but a really lovely one, but something that doesn’t happen without a team,” she said. “We must give credit to them.” Mrs Bygrave received the award for services to the community in and around Mangawhai, most recently with the Mangawhai Historical Society where she has been involved since the inception of the museum project, and she continues as chair of the museum board, as well as a trustee of the Pioneer Village project situated next door. A member of the Mangawhai Golf Club for

three decades, she was president from 2003 to 2004 and led the celebrations for the club’s silver jubilee. Organ music and singing, pony club activity and school leadership as chair of the Otamatea High School Board of Trustees from 1983 to 1988 have also led to her recognition with a Kaipara District Council Citizens Award in 2018. “No community work is possible without the support of others and for me, my husband Bill and our family as well,” she says. ¢

the actual slip is repaired. The road alignment has been moved about 1.5 metres to more stable ground, which necessitated excavation work. “Until completion, there will be manual stop/go traffic control through the day while crews are onsite, with temporary traffic lights at all other times. We ask motorists to be vigilant and keep to the temporary speed limits while we carry out this essential work to restore the state highway,” says Ms Hori-Hoult. ¢

A boatload of gratitude Advocacy at the highest level The Northern Wairoa Boating club has hit upon a novel way to say thanks to all the generous sponsors who made their 2019 river regatta such a success.

p Dargaville’s regatta was made possible by the input of many of our local business leaders — now the boating club is giving thanks in a big way

More than 40 local businesses from Dargaville contributed to the prize pool and to the running of the very popular event, which saw boaties from all around the Kaipara Harbour join together for a series of fun races and challenges, followed by dinner at the riverside headquarters of the club. NWBC Commodore Janice Cleaver says that without this public support, events like the regatta would not be possible. “It’s all about giving a little bit back, to those who have done so much for our

club and its patrons,” she says. “That’s why we thought it would be a good idea to put on a dinner and a winter function for all our supporters.” Commodore Janice says that the plan to invite all those business sponsors, as well as all club members and their guests, to a winter dinner and live music concert came from the success of the NWBC’s roast meal nights and the popularity of their kitchen staff. “Sharing the evening view of the river and a hot meal is our way of saying thanks for a great relationship with our townsfolk.” ¢

Dargaville-based chartered accountant and experienced kumara farmer Kathryn de Bruin has been elected to the governing board of Horticulture New Zealand, the body, which oversees and advocates for the horticultural sector within agriculture. The board, which ranks alongside such industr y heavyweights as Beef + Lamb and Dairy NZ in terms of representing Kiwi farmers, is made up of elected members serving a three-year term. With solid support from many of the subsidiary growers associations, which vote for the over-arching Horticulture NZ board, Kathryn was successful this year, becoming only the third woman in history to hold such a position.

Artist’s brush with Kaipara

Mangawhai artist Melanie Rodiga opens her solo Kaipara Day and Night exhibition on Thursday, June 13 at the Moir Street gallery, during which she will be painting on-site.

Prospective models, designers and wearable arts creators gathered at Dargaville’s Sewing and Curtain Centre last Friday, June 7, to workshop ideas and plan ahead for 2019’s show.

Melanie’s 40-year career as an international film-maker could be characterised as looking at light. “Painting replicates the attentiveness of filmmaking and also frees me from the tyranny of it,” she says. Industrial filmmaking is the art of compromise, whereas painting is making art that aims to be free of compromise.” In her large luminous oil paintings, Melanie says “living on the Kaipara, there is a strong sense of the natural world; however, modified it is. Landscape and light are always vibrant, dynamic and p Melania Rodiga at work on a canvas changing. They evoke strong responses. I paint to express my own river.

Arapohue Show accolade

Out of touch with New Zealand

“The weather was good, the grounds were firm, the crowds were great, there were no cattle, thanks to M Bovis, but all other sections went well and to top it all we made a profit.”

u by Matt King, Member of Parliament for Northland

The government’s so-called ‘Wellbeing Budget’ is a stunning document — and not in a good way.

President of the Northern Wairoa A&P Show, Richard Alspach, succinctly summed up this year’s event at Arapohue in his recent report to the annual general meeting. “The indoor section had a record number of entries, up nearly 25% on the previous year,“ he said. “We had six horse rings going at once. There is, however, an OSH issue we need to address, and that is fencing of the show ring. A single strand of rope

between horses and the public is not really desirable. Fencing the ring would go a long way to solving that problem.” Due to M Bovis there were no cattle at the show this year. “Over the next few months we will be communicating with our exhibitors as well as MPI, to see how we can best get cattle back again,” Mr Alspach said. “If not in full competition, at least as a demonstration, with perhaps a public judging competition.” ¢

increasing under this government. Nevertheless, the government has sought to address those. Good on them. There are also huge and growing problems for the great majority of New Zealanders, which this government and this budget have seemingly forgotten, or more likely, are content to leave in the too-hard basket. Problems such as escalating rents, vociferous taxes and let me say it; a government that seems to be displaying dangerous levels of incompetency. No, this is not a budget that shows a government in touch with the major issues. It is not even a budget that shows a government in touch with New Zealand. It is a budget that is little more than, well, being something that may be portrayed as rather visionary on the world stage (where this government seems to like to stride) but does very little for us back home.

Not for me. Not for you. Moreover, I suggest, not for the majority of New Zealanders. Therein, I suggest, lies the problem. The vast majority of New Zealanders have, for the most part, been marginalised by this budget. They have missed out and been bypassed by a government that is consistently failing to address the big problems and the concerns of middleclass New Zealanders — education, health, law and order. This government’s thoughts and priorities lie elsewhere, and the proportional spend reflects that. Of the operational spend, education gets $14.3 billion, health is slightly better at $18.3 billion, law and order get a paltry $4.6 billion, and social security and welfare get a whopping $28.9 billion. Nobody would dispute that there are some very real welfare problems in this country and it’s probably churlish to point out that they are

Welcome to Mangawhai Art workshops on offer The winter months are time to spend indoors, and Mangawhai Artists have come up with just the ticket to keep cosy and also enhance your creative experience at the same time, with Winter Workshops. “Beginning on June 24 as the chilly weather sets in, unleash your creativity and have a go at some art!,” says learning coordinator Raewyn Vague “The tutors are experienced; there is something for all levels. Beginners will be supported, and the more confident will be encouraged and supported to expand. The workshops are listed on the website mangawhaiar tists.co.nz/lear nwith-us. “There are lots to choose from; look on the website for the calendar, a list of tutors and workshops. Each workshop has information at the end on how to book. Lino printing and working with clay with tutor Nicola Everett, felt wool pictures and playing with colour using beeswax crayons and

citrus turps with Christine Moginie, painting workshops with tutor Elena Nikolaeva plus workshops on how to develop your ideas, introduction to silver clay, quilling and paper filigree, digital drawing and more. Raewyn says “it’s important to book as soon as possible because some workshops are filling up. “Each has a limited number of places to make sure every participant has a good experience. The downside is that without the number of participants being reached, some workshops will be cancelled.” You can email Raewyn for more information artworkspacemangawhai@gmail.com. The workshops this year continue, as for previous years, to be in the gallery.

Mangawhai’s Zonta group has hosted speakers from Perinatal Anxiety and Depression Aotearoa, an organisation advocating for the mental health of new parents. A special evening was held on May 27 at the Mangawhai Golf Club so Zonta members could meet with members of PADA and gain a deeper understanding of why Zonta International District 16 (New Zealand) is getting behind the organisation and their goals. Cat Railey from Warkworth, a registered nurse who has started up a postnatal care group called Mummacare, shared information about perinatal mental health and local services available in

the local area. Brendon Smith, a PADA Board member who also works with support group Kidz Need Dadz, shared his knowledge around the care of both mums and dads. Zonta New Zealand has partnered with PADA for the next two years to help educate health care providers who provide support to families experiencing perinatal mental illness. It affects up to 25% of women and 10% men who are new parents, and the issues and impacts are not widely understood. Registered nurse and lactation consultant Liora Noy (who also holds a master’s degree in public health education), will work with agencies such as Plunket, midwives, doctors, early childhood educators and parent centres to further PADA’s cause. The Zonta Club of Mangawhai was proud to support the initiative. ¢

GET CREATIVE Matariki’s stars to shine As the ‘seven sisters’ of the Pleiades star cluster rise over the horizon in Winter, it’s time once again to celebrate the season of Matariki. Dedicated in ancient times to the start of the new year on the Maori calendar, this holiday is akin to traditions spanning cultures as varied as the Druidic lore of the old European tribes and the star calendars of the MesoAmerican temple builders. However, this holiday is truly unique to New Zealand, and, at least in Dargaville, it’s a chance for some other stars to shine as well. That’s because a tradition has been building year by year that Matriki is a time for the creative arts, a symbolic rebirth, that has come to full fruition for 2019. On Saturday, July 6, the area around Dargaville’s riverside band rotunda will be transformed into an outdoor market with tasty street food, and a venue for music, fire dancing and more. It all kicks off with a festival of kapa haka from 11am at the town hall, followed by storytelling, kite making, music and a kumara cuisine contest by the band rotunda from 3pm. Circus Kumarani will be in attendance to entertain, and as night falls, they will light up the stage with an interactive fire spinning show. This part of the day has all kinds of neat activities for the kids and is 100 per cent whanau friendly.

p Matariki focusses on the Pleiades star cluster: called the seven sisters by the Greeks, carved on monuments in Egypt and used as the Subaru motor company logo in Japan

From 7.30pm the action moves just across the road with live music rocking at the Central Hotel until

GET CREATIVE Cinema a creative force u by Andy Bryenton

When the historic old Empire theatre closed in Dargaville in the 1970s, it seemed that the age of the silver screen was over from the town, but more than 25 years later, a trust was formed to bring big screen movies back. The phenomenal success of the ANZAC Theatre has not just been about the hundreds of thousands of dollars raised, or the revitalisation of a classic old building to house what is now one of the most comfortable cinemas in New Zealand. It’s also been about fostering talent in the creative arts through various means. The cinema is the host to the Rotary club’s annual classic film festival, now with many years behind it and better than ever for 2019. Exploring works by film-makers such as Stanley Kubrick and Alfred Hitchcock is as much a part of art appreciation as taking in paintings by Raphael or Monet. Added to this is the chance to watch the great actors of the 20th century in their defining roles. Having our own cinema also means the ability to host a film-making competition of our own each year, with locals well represented in the annual Northland Short Film contest. History has proven that the inspired small-budget film creators of today are the Peter Jacksons and Taika Waititis of tomorrow. Finally (and aside from the fact that having a

p Promoting cinema as an art form does more than entertain — it encourages the next generation of film-makers

cinema, which brings pop culture events like new Star Wars films here at the same time as the big cities), having a cinema means the ability to use the space for other concerts and artistic events. Live music is one good example, and there

have even been occasions when a live band has provided the score to a classic film on the big screen. Right now, as we celebrate another memorable film fest, the ANZAC Theatre is planning to upgrade and improve their projection

equipment, investing even more into the arts in Dargaville. Thank you to all the volunteers and the contributors who make it possible to enjoy the creative world of the cinema so close to home. ¢

WINTER RENOVATIONS ADVERTORIAL

Delivering affordable housing With the network news full of talk of an unalleviated housing crisis, and the ‘red tape’ required to put a new build together still stifling for some, call for an alternative solution to housing has been growing in the market. Thankfully, there’s another concept beyond building or buying, which is gaining traction. Buying a relocatable home combines some very modern concepts with some old fashioned common sense. First of all, a pre-loved home is recycled and ecofriendly. Above and beyond this, however, it’s proven already to have stood the test

of time, weathertight and solid. Many homes suitable for relocation have been craftsman-built in the old-school sense, using native timbers not available to the modern industry. It lends another aspect — character. To own a classic villa in the leafy suburbs could break the bank. To relocate one to a lifestyle block gives the best of heritage living and country views. p Highway Housemovers pack some serious power, with specialist trucks and a team of experts shifting whole homes by road

Take the hassle out of investment property ownership

The price is exceptionally low compared to other options, even when transport, piling and connections to water and power are factored in. Here in the north, a leading industry name is Highway Housemovers, who has been shifting and installing homes for farmers, lifestyle block owners, first home buyers and investment landlords for decades. Adept at picking just the right homes to uplift and reutilise, they have another advantage too; the assistance of a registered financial adviser with 35 years

That suddenly puts a piece of land and a pre-loved home in the grasp of those who thought they would never attain their property dreams, with a conventional mortgage structure and financial peace of mind.

WINTER RENOVATIONS New standards take effect Landlords have been hurrying and insulation companies are working overtime to comply with new standards for healthy homes, set to take effect in a fortnight’s time. are deemed inefficient, unaffordable or unhealthy and will not meet the requirements under the heating standard. Insulation, a cornerstone of the new improvements, must meet the 2008 building code or be at least 120mm thick. Ventilation, including kitchen and bathroom extractors, is included to expel moisture and stop mould and damp. All homes must be weathertight without draughts or leaks. The key fact is that from July 1, private landlords must ensure that their rental properties comply with the healthy home standards within 90 days of any new tenancy. A blanket enforcement for all rental homes in New Zealand (approximately 600,000 in total) does not come into effect for a further five years. ¢

June 1 is the date set for sweeping changes to the government’s healthy homes standards, prompting a flurry of activity for trades associated with weatherproofing, ventilation, heating and insulation. Meanwhile, some landlords are considering the practicality of switching to professional property management as the maintenance required under the new rules puts the ongoing upkeep of a rental property out of the realm of the ‘DIY self repairer’. Ultimately, this regulatory change means that owning investment property is becoming more and more a business and less a passive income stream. Changes coming on July 1 include the requirement for heating systems capable of achieving a minimum temperature of at least 18C in the living room only. Some heating devices

Virtual introduction to the trades u by Andy Bryenton

With the practical trades needing tens of thousands of new workers to meet a projected shortfall in future years, new strategies are being developed to entice school-age young people into a career on the tools. A new weapon in this arsenal is one, which has traditionally not been part of the school curriculum — computer games. We may remember the slightly clunky and heavily pixelated educational games of the 1980s, but a new offering being rolled out free of charge to all secondary schools is of a different order altogether. Construction Tycoon is one of three games that have been developed by JOY Business Academy in partnership with Xero, BNZ, Microsoft, BDO, BCITO and the Ministry of Social Development. As in the others, Tech Tycoon and Restaurant Tycoon, the focus is on building a successful business, but in the realm of construction, this also means hiring staff, managing inventory, building homes and staying solvent while juggling cash and work site regulations. Educators plan to use this game to give students a taste of how their career in the trades could unfold; a successful game campaign boosts confidence that a student ‘has what it takes’ to be a tradesperson in the real world.

p Virtual immersion: students can learn skills via a simulation before entering the real world workplace

It’s not the first time that the construction industry has turned to virtual reality to train a new generation. With the expense of heavy machinery and the need for operators to upskill without taking up valuable time at the controls of working equipment, virtual excavators and forestry equipment, cranes and other heavy machines are becoming more commonplace in the workplace. While realistic fullimmersion simulators were once only for astronauts and pilots, the rise of

inexpensive virtual reality technology (even available for in-home gaming) has seen this training method explode. Students are unsurprisingly enthusiastic about the roll-out of Construction Tycoon; who wouldn’t like the chance to game in school? The serious lessons wrapped up in the game are equally important and may lead to more apprenticeships in the near future. Try it out yourself for free at xero. com/nz/campaigns/tycoon-series. ¢

MAKE RUST HISTORY!

The final curtain for rust

Every classic vehicle ever built is stalked by an invisible enemy, no piece of heavy equipment on the farm can be locked up tight enough to evade this foe.

Bill Hirsch Brand Miracle Paint is now here in NZ! Turns rust into a surface hard as steel that won’t chip or crack. Perhaps the ultimate in metal protection technology. Available now in store!

p Rust is a relentless foe for all forms of steel and iron, but a new paint invention could spell the end for this oxidising curse

Sadly, during the years this archvandal has reduced millions (even billions) of dollars worth of precious metal to worthless junk. We’re talking, of course, about rust. Neil Young famously said that the oxidising process never sleeps, but now there’s a new way to put it down for a permanent nap. Chemists working with anti-corrosion paint have struck upon a formula that does things differently, and now the fruits of their labour have reached New Zealand, in the form of Bill Hirsch Miracle Paint. Mr Hirsch has put his name to a product, which may well be revolutionary, and has been brought here by Doug

Hays of Dargaville Motorcycles and Powersports. Operating in the exact opposite way to normal paint; this formula doesn’t cure by evaporation but actually thrives on moisture. When cured, the densely cross-bonded molecular structure forms a tough, chip proof protective coating that’s highly chemical-resistant and turns rusted metal ‘new again’. Smack it with a hammer or try to bend it — the paint remains as a tough outer shell. It goes on right over clean rust, converting it to part of the structure. That makes miracle paint perfect for restoring car chassis or motorcycle frames, and for applications where

moisture and chemicals (like sea salt and chemicals from cut grass) can attack steel. Then again, it’s also possible to coat concrete, fibreglass and many other surfaces for a non-porous layer of protection, rust notwithstanding. Due to the way it cures, miracle paint requires a top coat if it’s to face direct sunlight. If you have machinery, vehicles or tools, which you need to protect, this may be the answer. Two coats and rust has no way in! ¢

100 IT’S NOT A TARGET

The Ford name and its iconic blue brand has long been associated with motoring advancements, from the days 115 years ago when company founder Henry Ford first revolutionised car manufacturing and put the world on wheels. However, the best designs and the smartest engineers need more than innovation; they need tools. Ford tools, as a brand, seems such a logical extension of the Ford philosophy that seeing the large range on offer, it’s just a natural fit. Manufactured to exceed the toughest standards, and utilised by industries as varied as construction, renovation and fabrication as well as the obvious automotive and engineering worlds, Ford tools combine durability with innovative design, fitting every niche in the workshop. As noted, this is not just a selection to please the dedicated Ford auto owner, though a garage kitted out in the bluefinished steel and prominent chromed badging of the Ford tools range would be a delight for those who are lucky enough to own a classic Mustang or a modern Ranger, for example. The range goes beyond rolling tool cases, sockets, crescents, drivers and ratchets and into the realms of serious power, while still comprising garage essentials like trolley jacks, axle stands, creepers and inspection lamps. Power tools include hammer drills, grinders,
